Classic Forest Park trails for this Saturday run (LAAL or LAWCL?)

Start on **Leif Erickson** with a steady climb to **Alder**, then turn right for another climb up to **Wildwood**. Turning left, follow Wildwood as it winds along, then turn left down **Aspen** back to **Leif**. From there, return to the start at the **Thurman Gate** for a total of **6 miles**.

**The Route** (Segment 1): [AllTrails](https://www.alltrails.com/explore/custom-routes/leif-alder-aspen-or-wildcherry-loop-69853b6)
*Want a shorter option?* Check out Segment 2 -- Continue up **Keil** Trail from Wildwood/Alder, connecting to **Wild Cherry** and take Wild Cherry all the way down to **Leif** \- back to start\. Total just shy of **4 miles**

**Meetup:** Let's meet at the Thurman gate, and we'll head out from there on Leif. Practice good car hygiene and mind your valuables! We will start running at 8:37am PST.

**Bring:**

* Grippy trail running shoes
* Warm layer for after
* Coffee cup/mug

**After:** Group kudos and Jeff's post run-coffee! bring a treat to share if you would like. See you there on the trails!
